The great wall of china was constructed over
2000 years ago and spans over
4000 miles. It was built to keep out unwanted Mongols. This is not by any means a difficult task to construct - humans have been able to build it for over two millenia now, so the arguement that it is impractical is not valid.
As far as it being seen as a 'political slap in the face', they'll get over it, and if they don't, then it's not our problem anyway.

they can't stop people coming in anywhere along 20,000 miles of our borders.

That's just naive. There is not a 20000 mile problem area anyway, it's only a very small portion of the border where the problems are arising.

The best solution I see is to help increase Mexico's economy so that there are less of their population living in poverty and without job opportunities. The only reason undocumented workers come here is to make more money than they can down there. Solve that problem and they won't come here.

While that would probably be the ideal method (seeing the problem taken care of from within their own country), I don't know how that would happen without it costing Americans something.
